That on June 12, 2020 decided Law for the adjustment of the motor vehicle tax, which will come into effect in full from 2021, is now based heavily on carbon dioxide emissions. The decision is therefore aimed at everyone whose vehicles are directly associated with high fuel consumption. The political statement makes the intention of promoting low-consumption vehicles clear and is intended to support economical purchase decisions in parallel. In the climate cabinet, the coalition decided to appeal to the environment in view of the vehicle tax.

What are the planned changes?
In addition to the influence of the cubic capacity, the following conditions will apply in the near future: the higher the CO2 value, the higher the tax. If the vehicle emits more than 115 g CO2 / km, the costs for new registrations are to increase significantly from January 2021. Already registered vehicles are not affected. The limit is 95 grams per kilometer. If a car moves below the stated value, regardless of the fuel, this can save 30 euros in taxes per year. From a consumption of 116-135 g / km, the component initially increases by 2,20 euros, at 135-155 g / km by 2,50 euros, at 155-175 g / km by 2,90 euros, at 175-195 g / km for 3,40 euros and finally up to a maximum of 4 euros for vehicles with an output that is over 195 g / km. Conversely, this means that savings can still be made on car purchases this year. In addition, there is a limited reduction in VAT from 19 to 16 percent by the end of the year, which will make the purchase process a little cheaper.
Am I affected with my vehicle?
As already mentioned, the following statements only apply to New registrations from 01.01.2021, which allows used car drivers to breathe a sigh of relief. Furthermore, it should be mentioned that electric cars will be exempt from tax for the next 10 years, up to and including 2030. Not much will change for climate-friendly vehicle owners either. Costs in relation to the previous tax rate arise as soon as there is CO2 emissions of 116 g CO2 / km. As a rule, small cars do not have a CO95 value of more than 2 grams per kilometer and are therefore not subject to significantly higher costs. Unlike the popular SUVs, the vehicle tax on vehicles like the Audi Q7 with 175 g CO2 / km increases by almost 40 euros. The increased tax rate is foreseeable for sports cars that are well above 195 g CO2 / km. Family cars like the Seat Alhambra, which emits 157 g CO2 / km, would also be increased by one sentence.
Calculation examples of different vehicles
- VW Golf R 8 with 320 hp would currently cost 178 euros. From 2021 then 205,90 euros.
- Mercedes AMG E 63 S. with 4Matic all-wheel drive and V8 biturbo with 450 kW / 612 PS currently costs 380 euros a year and from next year about 540 euros.
- VW Touareg V8 TDI with 7,4 l / 100 km consumption currently costs 580 euros vehicle tax per year and from next year 640 euros.
Politicians set this draft law in advance stuck for the next five years. The objective leaves room for criticism and is uncomfortable for many environmental activists. The extent to which this strategy counteracts greenhouse gas pollution cannot be defined to date. The draft from the Federal Cabinet still has to be approved by the Bundestag and the Bundesrat, which could result in further changes.
in summary the new vehicle tax 2021:
- newly registered SUV & sports car etc. become more expensive
- Cars that have already been registered are not affected
- The climate component starts at 96 grams of CO2 per kilometer
- it should be increased from 116 grams per kilometer
- less relevant for small cars and family cars
- Increasing the vehicle tax is a measure from the federal government's climate package
- Airplanes should gradually be filled up with biofuels
- The CO2 price for climate-damaging fuels from oil, natural gas and coal will rise
- Commuter allowance should increase by 21 cents from the 5st kilometer (also for users of public transport)
Attention: Fuel prices are also rising!
In 2021 there will be no increase in vehicle tax! Another burden for internal combustion drivers and plug-in hybrid owners is the so-called CO2 price. It also makes gasoline and diesel more expensive. A taxation according to CO2, which strongly asks the driver to checkout after the vehicle tax and the eco tax. The additional tax has been levied on fuels for over 20 years, and the 2021 plan is now the third carbon tax. Whoever travels a lot with an economical vehicle will sooner or later put the above-mentioned tax savings in the tank due to the higher petrol costs.
Of course that had not been the case.
